I’m told this can’t win because it’s unpopular so the smart play is for Democrats to suck up to conservatives in order to win the votes of 9 bigots who don’t like spray tan.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

When Trump changed sides in Russia’s war against Ukraine, Republicans acted as if nothing had changed. It takes a special talent to betray an entire worldview without missing a beat:

Failing to acknowledge that we are in a moment of national crisis unrivaled in our history is not only denying reality it is inviting disaster. Failing to use every legal tool at our disposal to resist & preserve our freedoms is a betrayal of every past, current and future generation of Americans.

This is truth. People are being disappeared by this administration. Let’s not dress it up or frame it via one egregious case or another. This is a systemic effort to violate US law, international law and human rights.

This year taxpayers in 25 states can file their taxes online for free, directly with the IRS. Trump and DOGE's attacks are trying to kill the program—along with the IRS' crackdown on wealthy tax cheats. See if you qualify and fight back: directfile.irs.gov

I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC. Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know? $300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

There’s probably no greater symbol of Trump’s defiling of the USA than hanging a portrait of his fake assassination attempt in the White House. It has it all, fake blood, punk ass Secret Service and the sort of ‘tough guy’ iconography that appeals to American idiots everywhere.

Like I and many smarter than me have said: this will cost lives and livelihoods. It will further wreck the American economy (which is well on its way to being wrecked). Weather and climate impact a significant percentage of our GDP. It’s just stupid.

The Trump regime has removed the commander of a U.S. military base in Greenland after she sent an email to base personnel distancing herself from JD Vance’s recent visit there. Col. Susannah Meyers is a hero. JD Vance isn’t.

This is spot on. I’m going to keep saying it. It may seem like Trump has the upper hand, but it only seems that way. Trump’s trade war isn’t boosting our economy— it’s breaking global trust, and we will pay a longterm price.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause. And what did Republicans in the House do today? They passed a budget resolution that paves the way for more tax cuts for the rich. "Party of the working class."

The New York Times tries to make it seem reasonable for law firms to cave to Trump and help him undermine our legal system. “Many firms feel they have little choice but to settle” sounds too much like “Many Chinese troops felt they had little choice but to shoot the Tiananmen Square protesters.”

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Republicans voted today to add over $5 trillion to debt to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Here’s a scale for that: a million seconds is eleven days; a billion seconds is 31 years; a trillion seconds is nearly 320 centuries. They are looting the country for big donors.

So absurd: Trump's aides are telling him working class voters love his tariffs. But recent polls actually show majorities of non-college voters say tariffs raise prices, and disapprove of his handling of them. I looked at the data. It's striking. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1937...
